===Performance=== The rate of fire of the M-11A1 is one of the biggest complaints about the firearm. Listed as 1,200 rounds per minute,<ref name="Walker"/> the MAC-11's high [[cyclic rate]] is able to empty the entire 32-round magazine in about two seconds, which many users view as a drawback.<ref>{{Cite news | title = Ingram MAC Model 10 / M10 and Model 11 / M11 submachine guns (USA) | publisher = Official site | url = http://world.guns.ru/smg/usa/ingram-mac-m10-and-m11-e.html }}</ref> Extreme [[trigger discipline]] is required to discharge short bursts, which are required for combat effectiveness. Without proper training, the natural tendency of the inexperienced shooter is to hold down the trigger, discharging the entire magazine, often with poor accuracy due to recoil. The rate of fire also varies depending on the weight of bullets used.{{cn|date=April 2023}} The gun also has a selector switch that allows it to fire only one round at a time in semi-automatic mode. Noting the weapon's poor accuracy, in the 1970s International Association of Police Chiefs weapons researcher David Steele described the MAC series as "fit only for combat in a phone booth".<ref name="Lewis2011">{{cite book|author=Jack Lewis|title=Assault Weapons|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=s2AbzqChZBYC&pg=PA79|date=28 February 2011|publisher=Gun Digest Books|isbn=978-1-4402-2400-3|pages=79β}}</ref> The M-11 is the least common version in the MAC family of firearms.{{cn|date=April 2023}}
